I decided to buy the monarch and dragon sets and swatched them this morning. I am very aware of the fact that they are not high quality pencils 😅 but I prefer to use cheaper pencils for my coloring book pages so it works out. They feel harder than Prismacolors but softer than polychromos to me. There are some unique colors for sure and I love that the wood is black. I’m curious to hear what you think of them.

I have a hard time getting footage of me scritching him because he hates being filmed while I do it for some reason but I was able to get some yesterday 😅

😂 Habanero Lime with corn is fire 🔥

Complaining about how she isn’t getting the exact boat she wants. Boo fucking who… meanwhile Im struggling to afford diapers for my newborn baby and she knows it. Her and her stupid boat can fuck all the way off. The boat was $23,000 by the way….

P.S I don’t mind if you see that part about Lake Tahoe as that isn’t where either of us live and I also don’t mind if you see the name Tom because it’s common af.

And tbh it doesn’t even look like cheese 🧐

I never know whether to add one or not. I have previously ruined artwork of mine attempting to add one and I end up regretting it 😭😂 what do you think? And if I should then what should it be of? 🙏🏼

The castle art pencil set I ordered awhile back came with a booklet of tutorials including this little frog on a flower so I’ve decided to give it a go. He’s looking cute so far.

First picture was taken today and if you keep swiping left you’ll see how he’s looked this past month while it grew in 🥹😅 he’s a distinguished gentleman now 🖤

Typically I just guess based off which one I think seems appropriate for the particular drawing and area I’m working on, but are there any “rules” I should know about as an artist?

I was working on my swatch book yesterday and I got to thinking just how many shades of grey there are. It’s actually insane 😅, and I’d like to know when it’s best to use each one including the “French” greys 🧐

I love coconut so I thought maybe I’d like this but omg EW it tastes like soap 🧼

My husband surprised me with a pack of them and I’ve never tried it before so I’d love to know from you all what it tastes like. I have had the carbonara one before, is it similar?

Thanks 😊

I’ll admit I don’t do cozy coloring book pages 9/10 times because they’re just not my vibe, but then I saw they have a SPOOKY cozy book and that has since changed 😂👏🏻

I don’t have good experiences using the alcohol marker set I have (they suck to be frank and I can’t spend the money on higher quality markers right now) so I tried acrylic markers and colored pencils combined and I honestly love how it turned out. The colored pencils give it some texture and character that I like. I think I went a little overboard with the white gel pen highlights but idk. If you have any tips for that I’m all ears!
